Ex-con Kermek wishes to find a job, but the local police officer, Bozoy, decides to recruit him to commit crimes for his gang of small-time crooks. He soon meets Eva, a prostitute, and after falling in love the pair abscond to the Kazakh hills and mountains with nothing to their names but a gun and a stolen box of mob money. Eager to leave behind their lives of crime, they aspire to open a movie theater. The only things standing in their way are Zhambas, the cops, and Baldyr, the gang boss.

Guy Lodge Film of the Week Conventional movie mythology is repurposed and remixed throughout Yellow Cat, a delightfully askew caper from prolific, peculiar Kazakh auteur Adhilkan Yerzhanov, which incorporates elements of Bonnie and Clyde, Singin' in the Rain and Badlands Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Jessica Kiang Variety A film that apes its influences with such infectious, idiosyncratic enthusiasm that it ends up entirely its own, lovely little thing. Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film There's such a warmth to the comedy here that the inevitable tragic sweep of the film feels all the more steeped in sadness. Rated: 4/5 Jun 20, 2021 Full Review Daniel Gorman In Review Online [A] film that teaches you nothing about the culture it came from - or really anything about actual human behavior - and everything about the kinds of movies its director likes. Jun 5, 2021 Full Review Mariona Borrull El antepenúltimo mohicano Kermek is a faithful tribute to Jean-Pierre Melville's [Le Samourai]. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Mar 18, 2021 Full Review Anthony Kao Cinema Escapist Yellow Cat feels more like a series of thinly grafted vignettes. It also caters heavily to hardcore fans of classic cinema, rather than broader contemporary audiences. Oct 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
